In President Trump(the Politician Slayer)’s State of the Union address he lays out just how much winning is going on.

This shows how prosperous America can be with a government that is working in our interests instead of against us. In this monumental speech he shows that the proof is in the results.

Trump also gives a solid reminder to those in Washington that the descendants of the people who built this great country is who they work for. “The people dreamed this country. The people built this country, and it is the people who are making America great again. As long as we are proud of who we are, and what we are fighting for — there is nothing we cannot achieve. As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God — we will not fail.”

A few highlights of Trump aka ‘literally Hitler’s” State of the Union Address;
⦁ A call for bipartison unity to represent the American people.
⦁ 2.4 million new jobs created. Over 200,000 new manufacturing jobs.
⦁ Rising wages after years of wage stagnation.
⦁ Unemployment claims at a 45 year low. Lowest unemployment among blacks and hispanics ever recorded in American history.
⦁ Record stock market growth, over $8 trillion increase in value.
⦁ Biggest tax cut in American history. Average Americans making less than 70,000 a year saw their taxes cut in half. The child tax credit has been doubled.
⦁ Reduction in corporate tax from 35% to 21%, which will bring billions of investment in manufacturing to the US by making America internationally competitive.
⦁ The Obama care individual mandate(tax penalty) is gone!
⦁ Most regulations ever cut by an administration.
⦁ America is now an energy exporter rather than importer.
⦁ New manufacturing plants opening all over the US at levels not seen in decades.
⦁ Americans will no longer have to leave the country for experimental cancer and disease treatments.
⦁ The end of immigration loopholes which allow criminals to enter the country. A crackdown on gangs such as MS-13 has deported 1000’s of them from the country.
⦁ A reduction in low-skilled immigration which affects the wages of poor Americans(this is the reason wages have been stagnant in relation to inflation for so long.
⦁ The proposed immigration reform bill has 4 pillars. 1. It would grant a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers(people brought in illegally by their parents) which is more than 3 times the number offered by the Obama administration. 2. The bill also includes funding for the border wall and for increased border agents. Also closes the loopholes which result in illegals being released even after being caught by the police. 3. The program also ends the VISA lottery program which lets random immigrants in not based on skill or merit. 4. An end to chain migration, by which under the current system a single immigrant can bring in an almost unlimited number of distant relatives. The new policy will only extent to spouses and minor children. Trump hinted to the demographic change projected by current estimates by saying this reform will protect the future of America. This is a very reasonable bill which includes a compromise for DACA path to citizenship. By impeding the passing of this law, democrats are showing that they are not interested in citizenship for the DACA dreamers, or protecting America but instead simply want to import votes.
⦁ Trump made a commitment to end the heroin epidemic by increasing treatment and drug enforcement.
⦁ Trump is asking Congress to cut foreign aid to any country which is not working in the interest of America. (Unfortunatly I highly doubt Israel will be affected by this)

Trump ended the State of the Union address with a great reminder to the politicians that the building they stand in is a monument to the American people and that it is the American people who built the country and who are making America great again.

“It was that same yearning for freedom that nearly 250 years ago gave birth to a special place called America. It was a small cluster of colonies caught between a great ocean and a vast wilderness. But it was home to an incredible people with a revolutionary idea: that they could rule themselves.

That they could chart their own destiny. And that, together, they could light up the world. That is what our country has always been about. That is what Americans have always stood for, always strived for, and always done. Atop the dome of this Capitol stands the Statue of Freedom. She stands tall and dignified among the monuments to our ancestors who fought and lived and died to protect her. Monuments to Washington and Jefferson, to Lincoln and King. Memorials to the heroes of Yorktown and Saratoga.

To young Americans who shed their blood on the shores of Normandy, and the fields beyond. And others, who went down in the waters of the Pacific, and the skies over Asia. And Freedom stands tall over one more monument: This one. This Capitol — this living monument to the American People. A people whose heroes live not only in the past, but all around us — defending hope, pride, and the American way. They work in every trade. They sacrifice to raise a family. They care for our children at home. They defend our flag abroad. They are strong moms, and brave kids. They are firefighters, police officers, border agents, medics, and Marines.

But above all else, they are AMERICANS. And this Capitol, this city, this nation, belongs to them. Our task is to respect them, to listen to them, to serve them, to protect them — and to always be worthy of them. Americans fill the world with art and music. They push the bounds of science and discovery. And they forever remind us of what we should never forget:

The people dreamed this country. The people built this country, and it is the people who are making America great again. As long as we are proud of who we are, and what we are fighting for — there is nothing we cannot achieve. As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God — we will not fail.

Our families will thrive.

Our People will prosper.

And our Nation will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free.
